# Probe Changers

The registry entries discussed in this document are provided as an in-field workaround (without having to create a new EXE or interface DLL). This is useful for unusual problems that occur with your probe changer. PC-DMIS currently uses a TOOLC.DAT file to store the information that was previously (version 2.X) stored in the registry or .INI files. The TOOLC.DAT file has been used since PC-DMIS supported multiple tool changers on the same machine. No changes need to be made to the registry for "normal" setup and usage of a probe changer.

Older entries, such as the following, remain in the registry for migration from older versions of PC-DMIS before multichanger support:

- ToolChanger

- ToolChangerType

- ToolChangerComm

- ToolChangerProtocol

- ToolChangerDockingSpeed
